Toilet and sink down the hall. Staff very helpful. Rochelle there at the desk our entire stay. Made it feel like coming home. Very cozy with... More

What a fantastic place! The decor was a spectacular old hollywood style, black and silver furniture and mirrors everywhere. Rachel, the hostess, was wonderful and helpful, and made us feel right at home. The place is small, I think there are only 4 or 5 rooms, so it has a very cozy and quiet atmosphere. Probably not the best hostel... More

During the week following Valentines day in 2013, my lady love and I spent two fantastic nights at The Glam hotel.

The location of the hotel could not have been at a better place, we could go out at night, have a fun time and just walk home (so convenient). We stayed in the Sophia Loren room which was perfect...

Have stayed at THE GLAM on two separate occasions. Room is clean and neat and we love the design of the specific room we always select. Its apparently only one of two rooms that have a toilet inside. That’s on the down side. The reception lady is always friendly and goes out of her way to ensure everything is perfect.... More

Loved this hotel and as a solo traveler the staff were very attentive and friendly. They could not do enough for me and I ended up staying there 6 weeks rather than the 3 week I had originally planned. It really had everything. Excellent internet, a lovely breakfast and parking next door, Fully stocked bar and wonderfully located at Greenmarket... More

Cape Town's newest Boutique Accommodation - right in the middle of Cape Town. Beautiful Old Hollywood design throughout, with a touch of "old world incorporated with a classic crispness." The Glam is about enjoying life, having fun and making your experience memorable. We are perfectly nestled in the heart of the Central Business District of Cape Town, only steps away from GreenMarket Square which has seen a vast mix of cultures pass over its ancient cobbles. Perfectly located for anyone seeking the pleasure of shopping or the thrill of the clubbing.
